Swampy’s Historic Photos: Gato Cigar Factory, Key West, late 1800s.
This is the first of many buildings Edwardo Gato built in Key West in the late 1800s. His main business was producing cigars, though he was involved in other business ventures as well on the island. Gato even built a community of homes for his workers known as Gatoville. Not bad for someone named after cats.
